Invasion

Named the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature,New York Times best-selling author Walter Dean Myers also counts two Newbery Honor Medals and numerous Coretta Scott King Awards among his many accolades.

In Invasion, it's May 1944, and Josiah Wedgewood and Marcus Perry - two young men of different races and backgrounds - are headed to Normandy's front lines. There they'll share the joys of friendship, the terrible truths of war, and what it's like to fear that each day will be their last.
